I know this is typically a space for bookish thoughts and rambling but today I just HAVE to share with you guys all my feels for my latest purchase! (Warning my pictures aren’t the best but darn it I tried!)
A planner?! That’s it?
Not just a planner. An Erin Condren Life Planner…
As many of you know I am a planner/organizational junkie. Seriously. The way many of you worship coffee is how I worship planners, organizers, sticky notes, ALL OF THAT STUFF. So obviously when I saw someone on instagram share a pic of their brand new Erin Condren planner I had to check it out.
But all the shiny in the world couldn’t prepare me for the sticker shock I encountered next. You see, these planners are BEAUTIFUL and they honestly have a space for EVERYTHING. But with that awesome comes at a price STARTING at fifty bucks. That’s right. A freaking planner STARTING at 50 dollars. Obviously I got over that and ordered one anyway but I seriously spent an entire week going back and forth on if I could honestly justify dropping that much money on a planner. The short answer? YES! OH MY GOSH YES IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE 58 DOLLARS I SPENT ON MY FIRST (of TWO) ORDERS! But let me show you why it’s worth it. For me anyway.

I was able to personalize the cover! This may not seem like a big deal but I love the thought of it having that extra touch of Octavia on the front! Not just my name, but the quote under it is MINE. It’s what I want this year to be about and I love that little reminder everytime I pull this beauty out.
Plus #2.
The month view is the PERFECT size! I can write in the boxes, use stickers (more on those soon!) whatever!
LOOK AT ALL THAT SPACE! LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS! LOOK AT IT!!
Plus #3.
The month view also has a small “notes” section. Perfect for just a quick glimpse of what’s coming up that month.
Plus #4.
No hourly break up of your day. I HATE planners that have the day broken up on an hour by hour basis. What if I’m running late? What if I don’t know how long that oil change will take? What happens then?! I don’t like that kind of pressure and it looks stupid. This is way easier and better (for me) to work with.
Plus #5.
There is a section for notes. Wait. Not just a section like what we’ve seen so far. I mean a full on 19 LINED pages for note taking and another full 19 pages (unlined) for whatever you see fit!
Plus #6.
Accessories!!! Hear me out ok? Remember how I said I’m an organizational junkie? Well Erin Condren has EVERYTHING covered! A wellness journal (I’m trying to make better life decisions), a PERMANENT birthday book (which I love more than I thought) and a monthly budget book (seriously died and went to heaven).
Oh and STICKERS!! Pre-printed, custom, blank, small ones, big ones! STICKERS!!!!
AND IT CAME WITH PRETTY LABEL STICKERS!!! SO PRETTY!!!
So yes…I’m in love with this planner. Yes I plan on and have already started to use it everyday. No I do not have any regrets. If you’re in the market for an awesome, pretty planner then the Erin Condren’s Life Planner is a great way to go! And, like everyone who makes a purchase, if you buy anything using my referral link below you’ll get some money off (as will I) and trust me, that $10 bucks makes a world of difference! So go forth my loves! Check out the Erin Condren site! If you don’t immediately fall in love I obviously didn’t use enough exclamation points! 😉
